This study is in rats, and if I'm reading the article correctly it also involves a population of rats that are bred to be predisposed to hypertension. So although it sounds like there are some interesting anecdata stories in the comments, this is very far from being generalisable to human populations. Seems like it would be a pretty easy study to do in humans though, to the point where I wonder if it hasn't been done already, even if not specifically focused on gut bacteria.
